Capital University Law School, my neighbor to the north in Columbus, Ohio, has announced what looks to be a terrific conference: The Foreclosure Crisis: New Strategies for Addressing the National and Local Calamity on October 28, 2011. Steven L. Schwarcz (Duke) will speak on Structuring Responsibility in Securitization Transactions, and Richard Cordray, nominee for Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, will speak on the CFPB's work. Check out the website for further information.
